The organisers have fixed the deadline for submission via its portal to September 15.
The prize will be awarded during the 8th edition of the International Festival of Freedom of Expression and Press – FILEP 2019, scheduled from September 25-28.
The prize was initiated in honour of a journalist, Norbert Zongo, who was killed while conducting an investigation into the unresolved death of David Ouédraogo, driver of François Compaoré, the younger brother of President Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso.
Despite death threats, the late Zongo reportedly continued his investigation until he was murdered.
